A method for the study of interstimulus similarity

A generalized method for collecting data on interstimulus similarity is presented and its special cases evaluated by use of information theory. A method of analyzing the data by the Unfolding Technique is presented which permits the study of the latent attribute structure underlying the similarity of stimuli for a single individual. This study was carried out under Office of Naval Research Contract Nonr 374 (00) NR 041-011.
